Lasting Memories Challenge #55

Good morning everyone!!!

First, I want to start by saying Thank You to all the Men, Women and Children affected by the tragedies ten years ago. You will always be in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers. Today is a day I will never forget what I was doing and where I was and how that day unfolded. It marks a time in history we will always remember and need to remember. Thank You for the sacrifices you made, the bravery you shown and the true heroism that flooded our hearts that day. Many Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and Children were lost....but You will never be forgotten. THANK YOU

Halloween Card with a treat!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to get a quick card in. Just cause October is known for Halloween, there's still B-Days in there and I wanted to have a card on hand. This ghost was cut on my Cricut last year for halloween decorations, so right now I don't remember where the SVG came from but I will try to find out for you. The paper is from Joanns and guess what?! It was an 6 (yep, I just typed an 6) pack of halloween paper for $1!!!!! No joke!! So of course I grabbed some! Some of the paper was filled with strips of different designs so I just cut and layered them.

 I went over each spider with Gelly Roll Clear Stardust to give them some glitter. The purple strip is punched with Martha Stewart's Drippy Goo border punch. 'Trick or Treat' is embossed in purple and I added purple googly eyes and popped him up (surprise surprise!).

 I wrote on the inside 'How about a treat?' and made a pocket to hold these.....

OMG how adorable are these??!!!! They fit perfectly inside the pocket for a nice gift! I purchased these from Denise at http://www.etsy.com/people/IndianBeauty for $12 - hand-sewn! You have to check her out!

Well I hope this inspires you to get your scrap on! Thanks for stopping by!!

Lasting Memories Simply You Challenge #54

Hey everyone!!

So I bet you can't guess why my title doesn't say 'challenge entry'??? That's because I am, with GREAT pleasure, one of the new DT Members for Lasting Memories! and que the nervous butterflies in my stomache! This is my first time ever being a member of a DT and OMG am I honored!! Thank you to Karen and the wonderful DT''s who chose me as one of the 7 lucky new members! And congrats to the other 6 new members, how fabulous is this?!!!

Now on to my LO! This Lasting Memories Challenge #54 is called 'Simply You'. And it's simply that! Make a LO about you, what you like, who you are, your style, anything you. Welp, I'm all about my 3 y/o son JaKobe so ofcourse my LO is about us and one of my favorite things we do together. We have a bathtime routine with his towels...yes you read that right, his towels! He loves the animal towels and acts like whatever animal I put him in. He has to check himself out in the mirror, act like the animal, then I scoop him up and, with his little pigs, he has to turn the light switch off! I know I know, a little weird....but come on! Like he's really going to let me do corny stuff like this when he's 16!!! Ok, so here it is;

 **sorry about the lighting, it was just not working for me!**

All paper is from DCWV Citrus Stack

First day at Daycare! and Challenge Entry

Hey everyone!

My son started daycare for the first time EVER yesterday! He's always been watched in our house or at Grandma's or Aunt's house, but never in a daycare. Well now he is going Mon - Fri. It has been an adjustment for the both of us but I know it will be good for him to meet new friends.

Anyways, they gave me a pic of him on his first day coloring a pic so OFCOURSE I HAD TO SCRAPBOOK IT RIGHT AWAY!!! It goes along perfectly with the challenge at Lasting Memories. Their challenge this time is 'who or what inspires you most?'. My son inspires me the most!! And in sooo many ways! Over at Whimsical Wednesday their challenge is 'Inspiring Words' and they give you words to choose from. These 2 challenges went perfectly together for my LO, so here it is;

 The words are cut using Sure Cuts A Lot2

 The flowers are punches I have, layered them and adhered seed beeds with Stampin' Up's Crystal Effects. The leaves are Sure Cuts A Lot2 with faux white stitching.

 My son and I tell each other we love you more than chocolate or candy or gum, whatever comes to mind!

I really hope you like my LO. Now go check out Lasting Memories challenge/DT call and Whimsical Wednesdays challenge and get your scrap on!!

Thanks!
